Regular readers will remember a few weeks ago that the Breaker Rebellions started with a vengeance and I managed to scrape a victory against my good friend Colonel Scipio. However, with just starting the Breakers my options for the army were limited and although I had men to spare I lacked firepower.

The solution? Big guns, Lots of big guns

﻿

Now that the Rebellion has started, It makes sense that the Wardens will bring out the guns and equipment that they would normal reserve for major uprisings to use against their Palladian oppressors

Watchman Auto-Cannon, the closest they thing have to an AT gun

As well as bringing in more firepower, Watchmen have learnt some harsh lessons and are now making good use of cover

Problems? 10D6 Solutions per turn

﻿

So will this extra firepower give the Breakers an edge or is the might of the Palladian war machine just too powerful? Keep checking in to watch the Fourth Edethorian war unfold

This time I shall be Introducing one of my long standing Characters that I've recently made the model for - Inquisitor Lord Tiberius

Inquisitor Lord
Tiberius is a long-serving affiliate of the Ordo Xenos.

Tiberius has served in many campaigns against a myriad of
foes and his combat abilities are unquestioned, however his main strength is
his Diplomatic skills. He prefers to assist in campaigns, not take control, as
he believes that wresting control of Imperial Commanders does more harm than
good (unless the situation is dire) instead uses his skills to guide and gain
support through his extensive network of contacts.

He is systematic, meticulous and methodical, and speaks in a
diplomatic but direct manner. Age is slowly catching up to him; he has also had
his left ear bionically modified after being burned in a previous endeavour, he
has a walking cane though he does not rely on it*. He seeks to understand the
workings of things, even if it is to discover just how to destroy them.

* Tiberius’ Cane is a well-crafted cane-sword, a master forged stiletto blade in a wraith bone scabbard. It serves Tiberius well as most security forces neglect to disarm an aging man of his walking stick

Tiberius is on route to the Palladian Sector from the Hydrax
Sector. After assisting an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor by questioning Squad
Leader Alexandros of Recon Team Delta (Blades of Fire Chapter), he has been
tasked with compiling a report on the status of the renegade Blades of Fire
Chapter.

Tiberius’ bodyguard (or ‘Cadre’) is comprised completely of
volunteers from various sources, and varies from soldiers to support staff to
ship crew. At present many of his Cadre are from the Kerysian Military, as
Tiberius has recently re-located his personal headquarters on the planet
Kerysia. 51st Kerysian Specialist Entry Team ‘Sandman 3-2’ and
Laurus Rex Orbital Landing Party 15 have been assigned to 122/17th Pioneer Company, Palladian Guard
to help train local forces in Urban Pacification Tactics

Sandman 3-2 and OLP 15 are part of the collaboration project between myself and Colonel Scipio, you can see his contribution here, hopefully there will be a post on my guys in the near future

Tiberius' Cadre

The models used for the Cadre are simply ones that I've had lying around from what was going to be my next army before the opportunity for the Breakers came up, as well as some spare models I had.
Currently in the Cadre are Infantry from the 51st Kerysian Regiment and a Desert Ranger from the 16th Hydraxian (front left)

Firstly an apology for the lack of posts, I had a slight computer malfunction followed by a slight internet malfunction, but fear not! after a long exodus I have returned.

About a week ago, myself and Colonel Scipio played a 500 point battle using my Breakers as part of the newly started campaign 'The Fourth Edethorian War'

The battle was simple - The start of the Breaker Rebellions, Scipio was entrenched in the Palace headquarters and had to hold back wave after wave of Breaker Cultists, backed up by Traitor Blades of Fire. The battle was close fought with Scipio slowly getting overwhelmed by my never-ending supply of men and with my chaos marines cutting through his flank, however, by the end of turn 6 I had only managed to contest the Objective.

It was at this point that thing got interesting.....

Scipio's Brother - another ardent wargamer, had his force added into the swirling conflict of the Fourth Edethorian War, the Storm Wolves Chapter of space marines.

The next 6 turns were a blur of close combat with the just a single squad of Storm Wolves cutting through Cultist and Palladians alike. The highlight was the Storm Wolves wiping out a 36-strong Cultist Squad in one turn!

In the end it was a bit confusing as to exactly who had achieved what. Scipio decided that the Palladians would have fallen back due to casualties and his brother decided that since his marines had no interest in the palace he would withdraw too, and since it was meant to be the start of the Breaker Rebellions but they had lost many, many men it was decided it was a pyrrhic victory for the Breakers.

On the modelling front - I have recently finished a new squad for the breakers!

And here they are -

The Watchmen

Watchman armed with a Shotgun

Watchmen Command Squad - Led by Overseer Malachi deBurgh

Sergeant Decanus spurs on the Overseer

The main Watchmen Squad

The Watchmen are the local Police/Security/Supression force in Breaker territory, but since they have been treated just as badly by the Palladians they have decided to throw their lot in with the rebellion. The are training the Breaker population on soldering and are will stop at nothing to protect their community
